"I feel bad about not being able to pick her brain..."
Oskar looks like he's about to chime in with a comment...
"And i don't mean off the floor."
...and then doesn't.
His brow furrows as he tries to think through this plan. "We think we can do this, huh? Summon these jackasses one at a time, and just beat them down until we deplete the well's energy? Is there, uh, like any sort of risk t'us? Like, we're summoning some bad s**t here; is this a case of 'Doin' something awful for a good reason?'"
"Well..." Vorvashali gestures a bit, looking for words, then grinning once he thinks of a good example. He waves Oskar over.
"I think its more like the blood is the final catalyst. Like spells mostly come from yourself, and need a small physical component. Or in the way of alchemy, if you have an over saturated solution, adding one crystal, causes the whole bottle to crystalize. I think its much the same with this. The pool holds the energy and shapes it, we just add the last bit it needs."
Illosari gives his sword a pat. "We could set up a kind of ambush, and try at least 1. Then check what that does to whomever supplied the blood. If it has an adverse effect, we can always find a new plan."
"Why don't we try to squeeze the remainder out of this one?" Vitro nudges the quazzzit corpse with his boot.
"Ooo! I'm excited!"
Oskar is satisfied by Vorvashali's answer, nodding his head in understanding. Hell, this is damn near the first time I got what the hell he was sayin'.
"That sounds more pleasant than nicking my tail with a dagger. We good to try this now?"
Oskar makes a show of being disappointed. "Does it, though?" He stops joking around, though, and makes a face that clearly indicates something has occurred to him. "If we're gonna do this, fine, but, uh, are we sure those things we been seein' are all that can come o' this? I'd hate t'get a big-ass version of one'o those things, y'know?"
A... Tail?
Dayo places a hand on his lower lumbar.
"If you grew a tail for me... Would it be like yours? Or... More like..."
...a dragon's?
"You can take a knife to your own tail after I figure out how to grow you one."
Oskar sounds a bit put out. "You've got one right there, and you're barely using it...!"
"If the former queen of underpoint could have summoned something bigger i think she would have."
After considering this for a moment, Oskar nods in agreement. "I hope you're right, seryyka." Oskar tries to remember where the creature appeared in the room, getting aproxiamtely within arm's reach of the spot. "I'm ready when y'all are, just gimme warning b'fore ya do it."

Justin heads to Bitey and digs out the black necromancers robe, puts it on and adjusts the hood and the tiara.
"If I can command them, I'll make them fight each other to the death for my amusement. Otherwise, I'm going to enlarge you both and teleport behind you, and let you play. We'll have three minutes to get as many of them down before it wears off, after that we can decide to keep going or try again tomorrow."
+4 strength enlarge person on Oskar (he can now lift the rock off)
+4 strength enlarge person on Dayo
The little rat ahahhhehemes and waves his arms around a bit to stretch them out and wriggles his fingers before putting them up over his head dramatically
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAaaaahahahaahahah! " and pours a few carefully measured drops of quassit blood into the well. (if that doesn't work, He'll use the tiny throwing dagger and nick his tail.)
You get the impression he's been practicing an inordinate amount of time for just this moment...
Dayo swings around his enlarged sword clumsily as he grows in size.
"Whoooa! I'm huge!!"
Vy sighs.
"I'm going to regret this, aren't I? and prepares himself for battle by casting bless and drawing shield and spear
Oskar tenses up, poised to jump any creature that might appear. "You got a funny way t'pronounce 'enjoy', Vy."
"Not that I can think of, sorry."
"In my home tongue it translates roughly to 'stomach ache'."
Vorvashali, Ilosari and Brodert look on in amusement at how dramatic Justin is being.
Brodert retreats to the back of the room, not one for fighting.
Ilosari draws his sword, and Vorvashali looks ready to cast a spell.

The blood of the quasit hits the broiling water, which emediately reacts. It froths violently for a moment. Those checking it magical aura see that the aura of the 'water' intensifies for a moment, then significantly decreases.
A sinspawn rises from the water, dragging itself out of the well.
Doing his best to not let himself be unnerved by the sinspawn suddenly hauling itself out of the pool, Oskar quips, "Hey, how ya doin'," before launching a large fist at the creature's head.
Dayo is momentarily shocked at the appearance of the Sin Spawn, but regains his composure after watching Oskar give it a pounding.
Vitro stands guard at the door, sword in one hand, paraphernalia in the other. Making some gestures and uttering some words he projects a glob of sour-smelling green goo at the emerging s'pawn.
Unfortunately he was still maneuvering to properly secure the door, and his aim goes wide, the acid splashing next to Oskar's feet.
"Careful!"

Ilosari gives the sinspaw a great whack.
Vorvashali scorches off some hear of Ilosari's head, but the second ray hits.
The last ray burns a hole trough the sinspawns checst and it flops on the ground.
Vorvashali looks immensely pleased with himself.
Dayo covers his mouth and nose.
"Oh, my! Please, less fire next time. That thing smelled most unpleasant!"
"Vor, how may times do I have to tell you to be carefull where you aim those things!"
Ilosari tries to salvage his hair.
Oskar picks up the body and tosses it into a corner (checking first to make sure he's not tossing it onto anybody).
"Ooo! Ooo! Me first!"
"Awwwe! He moved!"
Vitro holds up the bottle of acid like a prism and shakes it accusingly at the emerging ugly.
"Who doesn't love the smell of puke in the morning?"
Elves are WEIRD!

"Who doesn't love the smell of puke in the morning?"
"I won't say I love it, but y'know, it's a cost of a good time, sometimes."
Ilosari looks worried that he misses...
Luckily Vorvashali manages to blow two sizable holes in it, but it isnt stopping...
Vy is a little disturbed about all the glee around him, but the thing is evil so it must be vanquished. He makes a stab with his spear
The sinspawn rears up on its misshapen legs, ready to tear and bit someone.
It goes for Dayo!
But it doesnt manage to hit the agile Dayo.
Going in for the kill made it tear open its wounds even further, and it collapes on the ground.

Justin looks over his notes for a few minutes, waves his paw to shrink Dayo back to normal, then casts another spell to shrink him down further. he sprinkles another dose of blood into the pit
"Yeah yeah rise and serve my evil bidding or something... sheesh. I thought it would take me YEARS to get bored of having minions. "
Reduce person on Dayo. Empirical method activate.
Oskar tosses the corpse into the same corner as the first one.
"Maybe it's not the most economic way of asking the gods for help, but evil and sin must be vanquished
Bless
Dayo shrinks to normal, and then shrinks to Justin's size.
"Wow! It's like I'm a child again!"
"I never noticed how BIG Oskar's feet were! Or that Snowflake's nostrils are just as hairy as the rest of him! Or that..."
Dayo points out randomly-just-now-noticed phenomena until the Sin Spawn crawls out of the pool.
"Yes, Oskar's feet are pretty spectacular." he remarks with an almost-straight face.

Oskar looks down at his well-worn boots. "Gee, so sorry I offended yer delicate sensibilities. Given all the crap Nisk drops and spills on the floor in the workroom, if I wore anything lighter I wouldn't have feet anymore..."
When Justin drops the blood in the pool again, it froths and drains empty, but another sinspawn forms!

"If half of what you said is true mere leather will be no impedement to his concoctions, and you'd be better off being light on your feet and moving away faster..."
Oskar shakes his head. "Nah, I like these," and pucntuates this point by lashing out and kicking the sinspawn in the chest, catching it in the ribs with the heavy boot.
